Digital Design - General Questions (3)

The purpose of a pull-up resistor is to keep a terminal at a ________ level when it would normally be at a ________ level.

What would be the output voltage of a 7814 voltage regulator?

Look up the propagation delay from the clock to the output for the 7476. Are the HIGH-to-LOW and LOW-to-HIGH propagation delays the same?

The main concern when using a pull-down resistor is:

Why is the Schmitt trigger needed in the 60-Hz TTL-level clock pulse generator?

Why does the data sheet for the 7476 only give a minimum value for the clock pulse width (both HIGH and LOW)?

A 0.01-F capacitor is recommended by TTL manufacturers for ________ the power supply.

Which of the following circuit parameters would be most likely to limit the maximum operating frequency of a flip-flop?
